Jettison all cargo : Please add a confirmation message before!

[Cthulhus]

Hello

Just lost 400 tons of cargo (lose 5 millions) because an error (I wanted to Rig for Silence running and I hit Jettison All Cargo)...

Why don't you add a confirmation box before ?????? Like : Are you sure? Yes/No

Please urgently add this

Thanks

.... or unbind the key. I did.

Yes, what I did now... But too late...

I'd rather not have a "dummy check" box. Hit the wrong key and pay the price.

I changed it to Shift <key> after reading a similar thread ages ago.

That was probably my thread. Tried to hit L for landing gear coming into a station and hit J. Lost a lot of goods and got fined heavily for littering.

I can laugh about it now. Just.

Shift + J is the way to go. No need for confirmation, but they could add it to the pre-flight checklist to make people aware of it before their first flight.

Yes, there are some ship functions that it makes sense to only be able to select via the toggle found in the right hand panel. That's not one you want to be firing off accidentally in the heat of the moment.
